TO SUM UP:

- CSSU Stable Upgrade does not install b/c my qt4 libs are at 4.6.2 -- CSSU requires >= 4.6.99 which did not get installed with _any_ of the regular updates i made previously!
- how do i solve the conflict? ie (probably) how do i upgrade to the most recent qt packages or rather, why aren't they installed while doing the upgrade? they should be available somewhere with the new catalog(s) and APT is supposed to solve this kind of conflict automatically.
- what exactly does this upgrade other than adding a repository ("catalog") to sources.list and run apt-get update && apt-get (dist-)upgrade
- how do i accompish this upgrade on the command line? this HAM is crap and has never been usefull to me anyway.


HERE'S THE LONG STORY

ok, after reading around i decided to upgrade to CSSU.
it did not leave a good impression, that
http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU
only "explains" how to browse here and click there without a single mentioning of what's going on in the background -- and i pretty soon was to find out that that's a _serious_ flaw!

i did everything as explained until point 7:
"HAM will re-open and present a system upgrade called Maemo 5 Community SSU. Once installed, your device will reboot."

HAM opens and displays several liqtm packages and on top
"Maemo 5 Community SSU Package -- Stable update #3"

hitting "Update All" sends me to "TO UPDATE YOUR DEVICE TO THIS VERSION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM YOU MUST USE NOKIA PC SUITE ON YOUR PC. CONNECT THE DEVICE TO YOUR PC VIA A USB CABLE AND LAUNCH THE APPLICATION." which is obvious nonsense -- thankfully, the FAQ covers that and really -- there are conflicts whth several qt4 packages:

libqt4-maemo5-* (<4.6.99)

that's funny. i always did all updates, PR version is the latest available -- and there's only 4.6.2~git20100203-0maemo1 installed.
- where is the qt >= 4.6.99 supposed to come from?
- what kind of package is "Maemo 5 Community SSU Package"? i can't find it via apt-cache and thus not check anything, let alone install it via apt-get

here's my sources.list (after the botched update)

deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0 ./
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/community/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://deb.opera.com/maemo fremantle-1.2 non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://bokomoko.de/~rd/maemo unstable/


with
apt-get upgrade
i see a bunch of packages -- but wouldn't that rather be
apt-get dist-upgrade
?


i just read this thread and see a lot of "flashing" mentioned -- that scares me: either those people have no idea what they're talking about or someone did really not get what DPKG/APT is all about.
